Edna St Vincent Millay’s ‘candle’ ,,,wonderful lines from an incredibly gifted poet..she would laugh at those attempting to infuse hidden meaning into her work…if you know anything about the way she lived her life (as the Dorothy Thompson ‘Millay’ insight below speaks of this wild one) you know that her meaning was simply…’there is no road that I will ever resist…but each journey depletes my essence’…she shared the flame with us for eternity …how fortunate for all of us….
